What about how they said twitter could do what they wanted because it was a private company?

They really can't, unless it was some State approve doctrine.

In other words, a private person or private company (such as a social media company) cannot violate your constitutional free speech rights, only the government can do so. That is, unless the private party attempting to restrict speech qualifies for one of the three exceptions to the State Action Doctrine.

And twitter is located in CA so it is part of US. Not some foreign country that can censor whatever they want.

Also source in regards to companys and free speech.

It turns out this meme came straight out of fake news. It was created from an article on Genesius Times a satirical news site whose motto is: "The most reliable source of fake news on the planet"

Not that it would shock anyone if CNN actually said something as ridiculous as this. They have made some comments in the past that you would have thought it came from The Onion, The Babylon Bee or this site I just found out about.

So everyone who liked this meme just got punked.
